Land OF Darkness.

New Guinea, probably the second
island in size in the world, is less known
to civilized man than any other region of
equal size. Until recently even the prin-
cipal features of the coast had not been
actually determined, and the interior
still offers an extensive field for explo-
ration. During the present year an ex-
pedition under Mr.. Theodore Bevan has
successfully sought water route to the
inland mountains, discovering two mag
niticent rivers, with numerous tributa-
ries. The main streams were named the
Douglas and the Jubilee, and were navi-
gated for 130 and 10 miles. The course
led into country of superb mountain
scenery, through fertile lands in which
saco, bananas, tobacco, bread fruit and
sugar cane were found to be indigenous.
The island proved to be practically
uninhabited except within a few miles
of the coast. Seven tribes of natives
were encountered near the Gulfof Papua,
the largest numbering 400 to 500 men.
The crimate was not unhealthy, the tenn
perature varying from severty-two to
eighty-six degrees during the day.-Ar-

Human Remains as Medicine.

In truth, to this day we find among
ourselves some survivds of the old SUPER
stitions still lingering in out-of- the way
corners. Thus it is only a few years
since the skull of suicide was used in
Caithness as drinkiny-cup for the cure
of epilepsy. DIR. Arthlr Mitchell knows
of case in which the body of such one
was disinterred in order to obtain her
skull for the purpose.
1t was, however, accounted q more
sure specific for epilepsy to reduce part
of the skull to powder and swallow it.
Even the moss which grew on such skulls
was deemed a dertain cure for various
diseases. Nor was this simply popular
superstition. In the official Pharma-
copgia of the College of Physicians of
London, A. d. 1878, the skull of "a man
who has died violent death, and the
horn OF unicorn, appear as highly ap-
proved medicines. Again, in 1924, the
same pharmacop9a mentions unicorn's
horn, human fat, and human skulls,
toads, vipers, and worms, among the
really valuable medical stores. The
pharmacopeia was revised in 1742, and
various ingredients were rejected, but
centipedes, vipers, and Lizards were re.
tanned.
Nor were these strange compounds
prepared for human subjects only. I

THE GRACE OF LOVE
BY GRACE DEMO L1TcHF1ELp.

| Bf GRACE DEMO LITCHFIELD,
A great while ago, there once lived q
very beautiful and very rich little Prin-
cess. So beautiful and so rich she was
that suitors from all parts of the world
came flocking in shoals to her palace,
wearing out pantaloons by the million in
protracied and agonizing kneeling at her
| tiny feet.
Notwithstanding /he glory of it, how
ever, the little Princess did not much
enjoy this sort of thing; for whereas
other young ladies could spend their
time in making delightful slippers and
comfortables for their friends, this poor
little thing had to employ all hers in
knitting everlasting mittens (Which are
very awkward, disagreeable things to
make, besides being never pleasantly ac-
cepted), so that many time did she
wish she might only have been born mar
ried, and thus have been spared this con-
tinual worry and vexation of soul. For
she was proud, fastidious little Prin-
cess, and had declared that she never
would marry until she had found
one who was IN every way her superior,
as was, of course, all extremely right
and proper; only, though all kinds of
paragons came TO woo, somehow or other
none OF them ever proved superior enough
to succeed in winning the little Princess
for his bride. 1t really was pitiable to see
so many fine fellows turned off daily; but
the Princess was become so accustomed
to 1t that she grew quite callous-hearted
on the subject; and when she heard that
OF the thousands rejected, seven or eight

bad, and three OF four cut their wis
dom teeth, and one OF two stayed single,
all for her sweet sake, she never shed a
tear.
But one day, as a hundred or so stood
In the outer court of the palace, saueez-
ing on their gloves, and Dracticing ten
der glances and sighs preparatory to en-
tering the fair ones presence, a Young
man, of very different appearance from
the rest, came quietly up and joined
them.
"Well, fellow" said the others, "what
errand brings you herel"
"The same as that on which you
come, answered he, TRANQUILITY. "Save
that l shall succeed where you will fail.

Habits OF the GnIl.

Mr.. William Brewster notes some in
teresting features in the habits of a
young Kittiwake gull of the st. Law
renee. He brought home a young one,
its mate having died of thirst, the other
one surviving through the accidental dis
coyery that the bird drank only salt-wa-
ter Both the birds obstinately refused
to drink fresh water. Observations on
this bird by Professor A. Hyatt showed
how slowly and timidly it acquired the
art of swimming and flying The bird
when first forced to fly was thrown into
the air, and, to the surprise of Professor
Hyatt, flew with great rapidity and pre-
cision, circling about the house and
through the apple,trees, and, finally,
flew near him several times in the great
est agitation till be caught the bird,
which was completely exhausted. For a
long time the bird went through this
maneuvre, showing that while il knew
how to fly it could not alight, though it
finally acquired this faculty. .-Populay
